1-to-1 coaching

Private sessions allow Russell to focus entirely on your goals, current ability, confidence level and any specific concerns you want to work on. This is ideal for people who prefer individual attention, want faster progress, or feel more comfortable starting away from a group class.

Corporate training

Workplace sessions support staff confidence, awareness, personal safety and team development. Content is adjusted to suit the organisation and audience, whether that's a one-off awareness workshop or an ongoing programme for your team.

Who it is for

Ideal for individuals seeking focused, personalised coaching, as well as businesses and organisations wanting to invest in staff safety and confidence. No experience is needed for either format.

Training Process

Warm-Up

Every session begins with a structured warm-up to prepare the body and mind for training, reducing the risk of injury and building good habits from the start.

Technical Coaching

Clear, step-by-step coaching breaks techniques down into simple, repeatable movements, so you understand not just what to do, but why it works.

Partner Work

Skills are practised with a partner in a controlled, supportive environment, helping you build timing, confidence and a realistic feel for how techniques work under pressure.

Scenarios

Realistic scenario-based drills help you apply what you've learned, developing quick decision-making and the ability to respond calmly when it matters.

Review

Each session closes with a review, giving you the chance to ask questions, consolidate what you've practised and understand how to keep progressing.
